Visible Wellbeing

The VWB e-program, developed by Professor Lea Waters AM, PhD, has been launched as a response to the Coronavirus Crisis and school closures across the globe. This is a time where the mental health of our young people is at high risk and Lea was motivated to find a way for teachers to support and build student wellbeing in an e-learning environment.

Today’s students have grown up as digital natives and are adept at learning, loving and living online. They are going to love the contemporary feel of this e-program.

This e-Program contains:

- 4 x explicit student lessons on Visible Wellbeing and the SEARCH framework (ppt).
1) Making wellbeing visible.
2) SEARCH: Six pathways to building your wellbeing.
3) What creates successful e-learning?
4) How do we build wellbeing in virtual classrooms?
